We all instinctively know that it’s important to manage our energy, yet few of us have learned how to do so proactively for better wellbeing, health and performance. Also, the best result of all, higher achievement.

Managing your energy enables you to optimize the quality of your life by purposely recuperating, utilizing and investing your energies in ways that are efficient, and bring about better health, new levels of success and well-being for you and others. By taking responsibility for your energy levels and deliberately directing it into your activities and work, accordingly you can make steady progress toward looking, feeling and performing better and achieving your goals.

It takes vitality for success.

Your ability to manage your energy so that you can perform at your best or so that you can persevere in the face of obstacles or adversity serves as an inspiration and an example to those around you. The real question is how do you manage your energy so that you can feel, function and perform well, reach levels of achievement that are realistically within your capacity and potential – and be balanced and healthy at the same time?

The honest answer is, it depends on what your goals are for any particular period of time, and your current energy levels. It also depends on a number of other factors including: your ability to restore and invest your energy successfully, your mental awareness, the emotional feedback you receive, your physical capacities, your relationships, available support systems and your ability to leverage specific circumstances your life provides.

When you see life from the standpoint of managing your energy for performance rather than simply recuperating the energy you use each day, via sleep, which is great in and of itself; you will greatly enhance your performance capabilities.
